If it's there for the taking how do SF mobilise the electorate to go out an get their X beside ODowd? The more marginal the seat becomes the more unionists will get out and vote to prevent any greening of Upper Bann.

By getting the message out that it's winnable. Locals have always had an inferiority complex as a result of strong unionist dominance e.g. Trimble, McCusker before him, Craigavon Council and their discrimination etc... They got those 20% boxes up today by simply knocking on doors and explaining to people that they could make the difference. As you say though, the unionists via the strong presence of the Orange Order are good at rallying around the sectarian flag.

All credit to SF in Lurgan today though - while trying to organise their election workers, they also had to deal with a load of toe-rags with petrol bombs trying to high-jack cars at the Lake Street railway crossing at Kilwilkie and not too far away from a major polling station.

Any word on turnout for F/ST?

Any word on turnout for F/ST?

Not opening the boxes for an hour or so yet - they're counting West Tyrone first. Unofficial (gossip) I was getting earlier from SF were talking around 80% turnout for some of their boxes. 

[Aoise]

Sincerely hope you're right Ulick! 80% would surely set her up well for it.
